Drinking Water from County Hotels.

"Here's q new wrinkle" said the pro-
prietor of a country hotel whe WAS in the
city the other day. 81 received . few
days ago letter from New York gen.
0eman inquiring my rates for board and
asking me to send him . sample Of our
drinking water. This il IN odd idea, and
it is likely to be generally practiced in my
opinion. The hotel men ere wont to call
such persons cranks, but looking at the
matter seriously it must be admitted
that the question Of water should be
thoroughly considered. A change Of wa
ter often causes sickness, and if this be
true it behooves men to investigate and
ascertain if possible whether that change
will be for better or worse. New York

Eillelea, chow the most expert thieves
sometimes give their business completely
away. They often make rs bsd plumbers
as a newly fiedged cop. remember once
I was on patrol duty in the Bowsry-
never mind how many years ago that II,
for am not in middle ago yet-and l was
taking it easy toward the ea,ly hours Of .
pleasant summer morning. Looking care
lessly up tho street 1 noticed raspieksr
coming toward me, stopping every new
and then TO dig with his hook into the ash
barrels on the sidewalk. He would have
passed me, as IL usually the osss, without
my even bestowing . glance on him, but
Is he went by me he said, Good morning,
SIR and turned the next corner just few
feet from me. 1t was Sc unusual for men
Of this class to give . policeman pleasant
greeting that locked curiously aftsr him,
and a sudden suspicion jumped int my
mind that all was not right with him I
stepped softly but quickly alter him, and
before he had reached the next corner /
stopped him, and with . quick inspiration
determined to examine his sack. 1t was
full Of silverwarc, gold watches, jew
elry, etc, that had been stolen from a
dealer half mile above my beat, and the
thief had walked safely past this other
policeman until his unlucky good morn
ing to me lost him his booty and sent him
to the penitentiary for term of years. "

A Singular Separation.

Missoula county comes to the front
with a new method of divorce, which is
worthy of adoption. Says the Butte In
ter Mountain: A year ago young man
named James Williams married an ac-
complished young woman in the east,
bought ranch in Missoula county and
settled down. For some months past
there has been growing incompatibility
between the two, finally eliminating in a
resolution to separate. Did they have
Lawyers and swear to the customary
charges of cruelty and adultery? Not
much. They had made little money
and owned a well-equipped farm, so they
concluded to sell out, divide up and part.
They secured purchaser for their stock
and land, sold their household effects,
divided their money equally and bought
a ticket for the wife to return to her home.
The night before her departure the happy
couple gave grand ball, to which all the
beaux and bellies of the Bitter Root valley
were invited, and a high old time was the
result. 1t was just like wedding party,
except that it was in honor of a separation
instead of union The husband and wife
chatted together, ate together, and danced
togther, but after it was all over they re-
tired to different apartments, and on the
morrow the bride of twelve months smil
ingly boarded the train to which she was
gallantly escorted by her husband, and
the two were as absolutely divorced as by
courts decree.

Railroad Notes.

We understand that the Northern Pa
ciic railroad company has decided to
send an engine ahead of all passenger
trains during the coming spring to guard
against accidents The Chicago & North
western railroad company adopted this
method some years ago. and it has given
great satisfaction to the travelling public.
1t is seldom, If ever, an accident happens
to passengers where this precautionary
measure is taken.
An official and satisfactory test of the
Martin patent steam heating apparatus
for heating cars was made by the N!ilwau-
kee road last week. The device consists
of the use of exhaust steam carried
through pipes from underneath the en-
gine and cars, being connected together
by a flexible coupling. The plpes.aon-
meet in the center of the car with radiat-
ing pipes on each side, from which Il
branch extends underneath the seats. 1t
is likely the new appliance will come
into general uae within the next few
months.

Death of Beec1aer.


Rev. Henry Ward Heecher, the great
divine, after very short illness, died
at his home in New York, Tuesday
morning, March 9Th, at $50 o'clock.
Most of the members of his family were
present, besides number of friends.
His disease was apoplexy, and though
the best medical aid was constantly in
attendance from the time he was strick-
en- down, it was without avail, and he
passed away while unconscious. No
Grape was hung on the door, Beecher
having always objected to the use Of
this and the gloom associated with it
in the presence of death. Instead a
magnificent wreath of flowers hung
from the left side CT the doorway at the
top of the stoop, composed Of white and
red roses and lilies of the valley, and
tied up with white satin. The funeral
occurred Thursday.
Henry Ward Beecher was born at
Litchfeld, Conn.,, on the oath day Of
June, 1913, making him at the time of
his death almost "A years Of age. His
service in the ministry exceeds in time
that of any other known divine, he hav-
ing devoted fifty years Of his life in ac-
tual service to the cause. He was the
son of Rev. DIR. Lyman L. Beecher, who
also lived to an advanced age. He was
the brother of Harriet Beecher Stowe,
the noted authoress Of Uncle Toms
Cabin. His first charge was at Indian
apolis, Ind, where he remained until
the year 1847, when he was called in
charge of Plymouth church (Congrega-
tion), at Brooklyn, over which he pre-
sided up the time of his death. He was
the first preacher that expounded poll
tics from the pulpit, and during the ex-
citement connected with the then noted
missouri Compromise he provoked
some criticism and engendered feeling
by contributing funds and otherwise
aiding in the armament of the free set
tiers of Kansas.
